Chapter 41: A big win over Bayern Munich and advance to the final
Compared to the first encounter, Lahm was much more cautious this time.
The opponent has already proved his strength throughout the entire game. If you still look down on him at this time, you would be blind.
The last encounter made Lahm realize that this guy is a player with balanced left and right feet and has no weak foot.
He can break through from both the left and the right.
Therefore, you must not be fooled by the opponent's fake moves and you must not kick rashly, as the result will be that the opponent will easily pass you.
The best way to deal with such a player is to call on teammates to come over and help defend.
But there are no teammates around Ram now. His teammates are behind the penalty area line, with a distance of about ten meters between them.
This distance was enough for the opponent to pass him! The only way to avoid being passed was to retreat.
As long as you keep up with the opponent's speed, maintain a proper distance, and close the distance to your teammates, you can use the advantage of numbers to double-team him when you reach the penalty area.
At that time, it will become much easier to snatch the football from his feet.
Ram kept backing away, trying to keep a suitable distance to avoid being passed.
How could Lin Quan make him happy?
Seeing the other party retreating, he immediately sped up.
No matter how fast Ram is, he can't catch up with Lin Quan when retreating.
So when Lin Quan accelerated, the distance between the two of them immediately shortened a lot.
If he continues at this rate, he will be able to leave Ram behind in a few more steps.
Ram had no choice but to stretch out his arms and desperately pull Lin Quan to prevent him from overtaking him.
Bayern defender Gustavo saw that Lahm seemed to have blocked Lin Quan, so he took the risk and tried to steal the ball.
Ram is shorter and lighter than Lin Quan. Although he has more experience in physical confrontation, the overall hard indicators are there.
So he quickly fell into a disadvantage in the physical confrontation. Lin Quan pushed his arm away with his hand and kicked the ball to the middle before Gustavo's foot touched the ball.
There, a young player wearing the No. 6 green jersey rushed up from behind and received Lin Quan's pass!
Kevin De Bruyne!
Because Lin Quan took Kroos away, De Bruyne was left unguarded.
The moment he received the ball in his backcourt, he sprinted forward with all his might.
His efforts finally paid off as he received a pass from Lin Quan at the front of the penalty area.
“Stop him!”
The Bayern defender was so frightened that his heart stopped, and Badstuber immediately stepped forward to intercept, leaving only Boateng to continue defending Arnautovic.
His attempt to steal the ball was ineffective. De Bruyne did not stick to the ball at all. He passed the ball decisively, diagonally to the top corner outside the small penalty area.
There were neither defenders nor attackers.
Did De Bruyne make a mistake in passing the ball? No! At this moment, a player in a green jersey slipped past the defender like a loach and received De Bruyne's pass in the open space.
The moment of catching the ball, Lin Quanhe and Neuer looked at each other from a distance.
There is no obstacle between the two of them, this is a one-on-one fight!
Lin Quan smiled at Neuer and kicked the ball directly.
Neuer saw the direction of the opponent's shot and immediately made a saving move.
But the football got there before him and flew into the goal.
The score became 3:1, Werder Bremen was two goals ahead of Bayern Munich away from home! Lin Quan completed his first hat trick! At this time, there were less than five minutes left before the end of the regular time. This goal almost sealed the victory! It was almost impossible for Bayern to equalize the score within five minutes! The scene fell into a dead silence again, and Bayern fans stared at the Werder Bremen players who were celebrating wildly on the field.
It seemed that they could not accept the score on the field. They actually lost to a weak team at home! This was something they could not have imagined before the game, but it happened! Not to mention that they could not imagine it, the Bayern Munich players did not expect this result.
They seemed to be stunned, and in the last five minutes, some of them wanted to continue attacking to save the defeat.
Some people are afraid that if they press too far forward, they will continue to lose the ball, which will lead to a tragedy.
Losing is not terrible, but losing tragically at home would be a bigger blow to their face and reputation.
The players were not united in their thinking, which made Bayern's attack non-threatening.
Inspired by Lin Quan's goal, the Werder Bremen players were in high spirits at this time. Instead of being besieged by Bayern, they began to attack Bayern's half.
If Bayern's defenders had not tried their best to hold their defense, they might have lost another goal in the last five minutes.
The referee saw that Bayern players had lost their fighting spirit and did not even give them one minute of injury time. As soon as the sixty minutes were up, he blew the whistle to end the game.
Lin Quan had heard that the Bundesliga was the league with the least extra time among the top five European leagues, and even in the world.
Their referees don't like overtime, so when the outcome of the game is clear, they often don't award extra time.
The Bundesliga players seem to have gotten used to this and generally don't protest or anything.
As soon as the whistle sounded, Werder Bremen's players, including the young players on the bench and coaches, rushed into the field and celebrated wildly with the eleven players on the field.
It's almost unbelievable that they beat Bayern Munich.
Winning this game means that Werder Bremen has entered the final, and their opponent in the final will be between Dortmund and Hamburg.
"Coach, our performance didn't disappoint you, did it?"
When the players saw Shaf, they asked him questions with a smile.

"Of course not, you are my pride, I am proud of you. Okay, after the celebration, let's go and thank the fans who came to support us!"
After saying that, he took the players to the East Stand to thank the 2,000 Werder Bremen fans who came to watch the game.
After the thank you ceremony, the players returned to the locker room chatting and laughing.
De Bruyne specially found the game ball, wiped it clean with his jersey and stuffed it into Lin Quan's arms.
"What?"
Lin Quan was a little confused and didn't know what this guy was going to do.
"Generally speaking, after scoring three goals in a game, the player who completes a hat trick has the right to take the match ball away as a souvenir.
This game should be your first time to complete a hat trick in an official match, so you can take this ball away for your collection! "
"That's quite thoughtful. Thanks!"
Of course, Lin Quan would not waste the other party's kindness. After taking the football, he borrowed a pen from someone, wrote the time, date and opponent on it, and then signed his name.
Then he passed the ball to De Bruyne.
"Um?"
De Bruyne didn't react and looked at Lin Quan with confusion.
"This is our first official match together. I'll give you this ball as a souvenir. When you perform a hat trick in the future, don't forget to give me a return gift!"
"Okay, I'll remember this!"
De Bruyne nodded seriously! Back in the locker room, just after taking a shower, Lin Quan received a call from Guardiola.
"Hey, Pep, did you watch my game?"
When Lin Quan received Guardiola's call at this time, he immediately guessed that the other party had watched the live broadcast of the game on TV.
What he didn't know was that Guardiola was not watching the live broadcast on TV, he was actually at the game.
"Yes I watched the game, it was a good game and I'm proud of you, but I have a question, when did you move to the winger position?"
When Guardiola saw Werder Bremen's starting lineup, he felt something was wrong.
"Well, maybe our coach has a keen eye for talent and thinks I play better as a winger, so he arranged it this way!"
Lin Quan couldn't tell Guardiola that he had acquired Messi's attributes, so he could only put the credit on Coach Schaff.
"I see. I've heard that Coach Thomas Scharf is a legendary coach, but I didn't expect him to be so bold and visionary in using young players. I still need to learn from him in this regard!"
Guardiola on the other end of the phone didn't know the truth. After hearing Lin Quan's explanation, he instantly became very interested in the head coach of Werder Bremen.
"How about this, after your game with Dortmund is over tomorrow, I will go there in person to visit you and discuss team tactics with your head coach!"
